HJ - glad the Christening went well. Nice to get gifts too!

Happy 7 months Bianca & Lara! Happy 8 months Jorda!

Liam is pulling himself up onto EVERYTHING now, and is starting to move around a little while standing. He's experimenting with holding on with just 1 hand, holding the other way out to the side and twists around to see if I'm looking. Very cute. And he loves holding onto 1 thing then being able to reach out and hold onto another item. I'm seeing an early walker in my future. In my head, I'll prefer that coz crawling and cruising involves more getting into stuff where walkers entertain themselves by walking... Right? Right?! He's gonna look so funny though - little bald thing that he is toddling around everywhere.

I've had a rather painful couple of days. have had an ear infection since last Friday which got worse on Monday and has been excruciating at times. Went to the doc (yet another one!! My new one wasn't available for a week!!!!! Did get squeezed in somewhere where they don't usually take new clients and got another good doc - who's just a few streets away!) and got antibiotics and ear drops. Then last night managed to burst my eardrum. Oh the pain!! Anyway, managing ok now on ibuprofen - I know you're supposed to avoid it when you're breastfeeding, but the MW's suggested it after my cs and panadol just ISN'T working. So far Liam doesn't seem to be showing any signs of any probs from it. The other good news is the ear infection's not actually contagious and Liam is fine. Well, apart form the small cold he and I both have, but that's not much.

Hope you're all having fun out there in baby land.
